Source: Genealogical Records of Buckingham County, Virginia by Edythe Rucker Whitley Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc. 1984 Page 85: The Flournoy Family Silas Flournoy married Martha, daughter of William and Sarah (Mosby) Cannon. On 25 April 1799 Silas and Martha sold to Jordan Flournoy 400 acres in Powhatan County on Jones' Creek, adjoining the land of Jordan and David Flournoy. By 4 March 1807 the Flournoys were in Davidson County, Tennessee, when they purchased from one Williams 5991/2 acres of land on the south side of the Cumberland, near the mouth of Stone's River, for $3,071.56. In the deed Flournoy was described as "of Buckingham County, Virginia." (Davidson County, Tennessee, Deed Book G, p. 328). Flournoy was still in Davidson County, Tennessee on 20 May 1817 when he sold his first purchase to Mr. Sims for $9,000.00 cash. On 13 August 1817 he styled himself in a deed as of Giles County, Tennessee.The remaining Giles County records show that in 1818 and 1819 he purchased several tracts of land, one of which was a plateau, "Locust Hill," two miles northeast of Pulaski, on the Cornersville Pike. Flournoy was an ardent Jackson supporter, and lived for a while at the Hermitage. He belonged to the Episcopal Church. He died 18 May 1822 and is buried in Giles County with several of his family. His wife is buried on the farm in Davidson County. (Davidson County, Tennessee, Deed Book I, p. 18, L, p. 235, and H, p. 292; Giles County, Tennessee, Deed Book E, pp. 72- 75.) Silas and Martha had two children: Eliza, married Judge Harris, and Alfred, married twice. ELIZA FLOURNOY, daughter of Silas and Martha, was born 18 November 1794 and died 16 April 1829. She married Judge Alfred M. Harris, of the Pulaski Bar in Giles County, Tennessee, and first judge of the 6th circuit when it was created in 1817. Judge Harris died 21 February 1828. Alfred and Eliza (Flournoy) Harris had three children: Martha, married Jerome Pillow; Alfred H., married Martha Jones; and Eliza, who went to Shreveport with her uncle, and there married a Mr. Watson, by whom she had children. ALFRED FLOURNOY, son of Silas and Martha, married first Martha Moore, who died childless in 1834 at Pulaski, and second, Mrs. Maria Ward, daughter of John Hamlin Camp of Giles County, Speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives, who died in 1829. This excerpt connects a family line with Virginia and also Tennessee. In my database I have that Judge Alfred M. Harris was the son of Tyree and Susannah Waddy (Swift) Harris; the grandson of Tyree and Mary Ann (Simpson) Harris; and the ggrandson of Robert and Mourning (Glenn) Harris.
